Ian Tregillis

Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a discredited tarot card reader. He was born and raised in Minnesota, where his parents had landed after fleeing the wrath of a Flemish prince. (The full story, he's told, involves a Dutch tramp steamer and a stolen horse.) Nowadays he lives in New Mexico, where he consorts with writers, scientists and other unsavoury types.

Bitter Seeds

A twisted Nazi scientist has been endowing German troops with unnatural, unstoppable powers. British intelligence may have to resort to their own dark methods to hold the impending invasion at bay.

Bitter Seeds is a chilling masterpiece - a tale of a twentieth century like our own and also profoundly different.
